Music video[]
The video was directed by The Malloys that served as a tie-in to the song's appearance in the film Me, Myself & Irene. It mainly features Dave Grohl playing a character who has a "multiple personality" disorder (just like Jim Carrey's character) while taking his girlfriend to see the movie at a drive-in. In addition to Grohl's mom, Ginny, as the woman who flips him off while he is driving, the video also features some of the actors from the Me, Myself & Irene including Traylor Howard, who played his girlfriend, Tony Cox and Anthony Anderson. The MTV series Making the Video documented the making of the music video.
